Abstract

SURFING PARAMETERS GAUGE AND TRANSFER APPARATUS is a velocity, time and space covered by a surfboard measurement apparatus or any other similar solid body, comprising a multifunction module( 2 ) enclosing a sensor adapted to pick up the surfboard displacement related to the water, transforming the data into electrical signals and send them to processing data unit. The multifunction module( 2 ) comprising a housing( 11 ) embedded in the surfboard( 1 ) hull having inside a capsule( 10 ) swiveling related to the housing; and capsule( 10 ) having an external geometric sphere-shaped lobe( 4 ) and a truncated cylinder stem radially connected to the sphere.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. SURFING PARAMETERS GAUGE AND TRANSFER APPARATUS where the board displaces on the water and being affixed to surfboard body a multifunction module( 2 ) comprising said multifunction module( 2 ) being formed by a capsule( 10 ) fitted inside a housing( 11 ); said capsule( 10 ) having potentiometers( 5 ) inside it connected to the stem of a spherical lobe( 4 ) external to capsule( 10 ); said capsule( 10 ) having inside a micro controller( 6 ) that receives electrical signals from the potentiometers( 5 ); said capsule( 10 ) having inside a radio transmitting set( 7 ) that receives signals from the micro controller( 6 ); and said capsule( 10 ) being kept fitted inside housing( 11 ) by action of a retainer ring( 12 ) fixed to housing( 11 ) body. 
   
   
     2. SURFING PARAMETERS GAUGE AND TRANSFER APPARATUS as claimed in  claim 1 , where the multifunction module( 2 ) is fixed to a solid body moving in a fluid medium. 
   
   
     3. SURFING PARAMETERS GAUGE AND TRANSFER APPARATUS as claimed in  claim 1 , where the capsule( 10 ) swivels in relation to housing( 11 ) around shafts( 13 ) tips of said capsule( 10 ), and said shafts( 13 ) tips staying on bearings( 15 ) inside housing( 11 ) body; could the swiveling of said capsule( 10 ) be stopped by a screw( 20 ) located at the retainer ring( 12 ) that transversally presses said capsule( 10 ) body. 
   
   
     4. SURFING PARAMETERS GAUGE AND TRANSFER APPARATUS as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising the geometric shape of lobe( 4 ) being a sphere with a radial stem and having on the other stem's end a knee joint connected to potentiometers( 5 ). 
   
   
     5. SURFING PARAMETERS GAUGE AND TRANSFER APPARATUS as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising said spherical lobe( 4 ) contacting the fluid medium where the multifunction module( 2 ) displaces.
